Finally moved on to an AGP Graphics G4 (Sawtooth) when I could not get Panther installed and running on the beige, and a nicely priced G4 showed up on the swap list.
You can try starting up with Command-Option-Shift-Delete-Number (1-n) pressed down to start up from a specific drive. System Profiler should be able to tell you what number to use for the drive you want to start from.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to boot one of these from a FireWire drive? I've set it in OS X to be the startup volume, but when I boot, it shows that little question mark and folder thing, and then picks the last drive I booted from. I've tried holding down the option key, and also shift-command-option-delete, neither got me into that screen where you can select the startup drive, and the second combination got me into safe boot instead. I've seen and used it on my G4 Powerbook (when something else happened), which has no issues with starting from the Firewire drive the normal way, but does the G3 not come with that? Am I hitting the wrong keys? Can it just not boot from them, period?
Thanks!
